The Ravens mascot, Poe, was injured during a recent game. He was performing his usual acrobatics and flips when he landed awkwardly and twisted his ankle. The crowd gasped as Poe writhed in pain on the sideline. The team's medical staff rushed to his aid and carefully helped him off the field. Fans anxiously awaited news on his condition as he was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. Fortunately, it was later confirmed that Poe had only suffered a sprained ankle and would likely make a full recovery with rest and rehabilitation.

Ravens mascot injured in halftime football game

Poe, the Baltimore Ravens’ bird mascot, was carted off at halftime of Saturday night's game against the Washington Commanders with an apparent injury.

ESPN reported that the mascot was hurt while playing in a halftime football game between a squad of mascots and a youth football team.

Poe remained on the field for nearly five minutes because, according to the report, observers were unsure whether he was really injured.

One report said that the person in the suit may have suffered a torn ACL.

An update on the mascot's injury was not expected to come on Saturday night.

The Ravens would win the contest, 17-15, extending their record preseason winning streak to 23 straight games.

The Commanders pulled within two with 5:31 remaining when Sam Howell threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Bonnafon. A 2-point conversion pass was incomplete, helping preserve the streak, but Baltimore defensive back Kevon Seymour injured an ankle on the play. Teammate Zakoby McClain appeared to fall on Seymour’s right leg.

It was in this preseason matchup last year that the Ravens lost running back J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending knee injury. They seemed to avoid anything that serious this year — although in addition to the injury to Poe, Baltimore also announced that defensive tackle Aaron Crawford went down with a groin problem.

Neither team was taking too many chances: Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Carson Wentz were among those who didn’t play.

Ravens mascot Poe suffers serious drumstick injury, team searching for replacement

BALTIMORE, Md. - Poe, the Baltimore Ravens mascot, has been placed on the injured reserve list after sustaining an injury to his drumstick, Head Coach John Harbaugh announced Thursday.

Harbaugh said Poe will not be able to perform for the rest of the season, and that the team is looking for a replacement. "We're going to go to work on that right away. We're going to turn over every stone, scour everywhere. We'll find his replacement," Harbaugh told reporters. "We're going to get right into evaluating our options, see where we go next, and see if we can find somebody to replace Poe."

Harbaugh burst into laughter after the announcement, however, it's unclear whether the person inside the suit actually suffered an injury.

Poe was tackled by a youth football player Saturday during the Mascot Classic, which took place during halftime of the Ravens preseason game against the Washington Commanders. At the time, he was carted off the field by the team's medical staff. Initial reports mentioned Poe tearing his ACL.

The Ravens tweeted that he was "resting comfortably in his perch awaiting further test results," after the game.

Linebackers Vince Biegel, and DAvid Ojabo plus tight end Charlie Kolar, are also currently on the Ravens injured reserve list. The Ravens are set to face the New York Jets Sunday, Sept. 11 when the team's NFL regular season kicks off.

In the meantime, the Ravens organization has reassured fans that they are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of their beloved mascot. Messages of support and well wishes have poured in from fans, players, and even rival team mascots. The injury serves as a reminder of the physical demands of being a mascot, as well as the dedication and passion they bring to their role. Despite the setback, Poe remains an iconic symbol for the team, and his injury has only further united the Ravens community in their support for him..
